Struggling believer do not fear Christ's return and the final judgment: ". . . the very person of the Judge removes all our fear. For the Father handed over all judgment to the Son as the Son of Man so that He might calm our consciences and remove all terror of condemnation (John 5:22, 27). This is because we believe now that He will be the Judge, and also because with our eyes we will gaze on Him in whose body our sins have been atoned for and the entire curse removed (Heb. 9:28; Titus 2:12–14)."

Q. Why is he called Christ, that is, Anointed? A. Because he has been ordained by God the Father, and anointed with the Holy Spirit, 1 to be our chief Prophet and Teacher, 2 who has fully revealed to us the secret counsel and will of God concerning our redemption; 3 our only High Priest, 4 who by the one sacrifice of his body has redeemed us, 5 and who continually intercedes for us before the Father; 6 and our eternal King, 7 who governs us by his Word and Spirit, and who defends and preserves us in the redemption obtained for us. 8 ~Scripture Proof~ 1.Ps 45:7 (Heb 1:9); Is 61:1 (Lk 4:18); Lk 3:21, 22. 2.Deut 18:15 (Acts 3:22). 3.Jn 1:18; 15:15. 4.Ps 110:4 (Heb 7:17). 5.Heb 9:12; 10:11-14. 6.Rom 8:34; Heb 9:24; 1 Jn 2:1. 7.Zech 9:9 (Mt 21:5); Lk 1:33. 8.Mt 28:18-20; Jn 10:28; Rev 12:10, 11.
